Bottle is 9 months old. Pours an off white head and a honey colored body. Smells of hops, pineapple, and honey. Flavor is pineapple, apricot, honeyed and delicious. Not very bitter but still heavily hopped.

On tap at Bar Louie Tampa, FL. Quite strong and nice with tropical and sweet fruits, and also a good amount of floral hop. Poured with a pretty cloud fluff like head, great lacing, and dark orange in color. Very heavy hop bitter flavor, grapefruit, pine, mild fruit malt, red apples, and sticky, fruity linger. Everything doesn’t perfectly come together for me in this ipa, but i am definitley not complaining either.

Pours a clean pale copper with a thin tan head... Aroma is quite resiny with a huge amount of piney hops... Taste of piney/earthy/woodsy hops with a bit of a sweet malt backing... Medium bodied, with a slightly thin finished...

20081227 12oz bottle, Spirits RB. Light amber color with tall white head that lasts and laces. Aroma is mostly hoppy with citrus blossom perfume, mild alcohol, light spruce/resin, light cat pee. Light bodied but sticky with a bitter hops smack. Biscuit and lightly grainy malts up front give way to mostly resin and catty hops on the finish. Not quite dry or astringent. Decent, quaffable IPA.

On tap at The Publick House in Brookline. The body is a murky light orange and a frothy thick pure white head has a lot of staying power. The smell is full of citrus peels and grapefruit. Very straight forward. The flavor is bitter and piney with lot of sticky sap and citrus notes. The bitter hops really over power the palate, in a good way, and seem to brighten up as the beer warms. This is my idea of a perfect session beer.
